Doing some testing on our test environment with the 1809 update. This system is not Internet and only gets updates from WSUS. I have tried to stop the services and rename the SoftwareDistribution folder but that didn't help either. I have done the troubleshooter but that doesn't do anything. I have set Delivery Optimization to Simple (99).

I am stopping the attempt to try to connect to the Internet using this GPO setting:

I get the result Windows Server Update Service IsDefautlAUService = True

Patched with the 11-2018 update from 2018.11.13 to 17763.134

I have done a Windows Reset on 1809 to see if that fixes the issue but it just shows the same problem. System will not check WSUS for updates and says it cannot connect. It will not even reregister with WSUS since we are set with Client-Side Targetting.

This is what the error show me at the moment.

This is my current log. Trying to find out what the error is with the LoadHistoryEventsFromRegistry. Microsoft has no information on these issues.

Looking for ideas on how to get my clients to call back to my WSUS server. Also this "service" I can't find information on. From what I can tell its a link to a web connection to on online WU. Any help is appreciated of if anyone can tell me any information on how WSUS uses these service IDs or what these FAILUREs are is helpful.

After doing the support ticket with Microsoft it was determined that we have found a bug in 1809. To clarify this I did a fresh install of 1607 on a new laptop, upgraded it to 1809 with the Media Creation Tool and did all the cumulative updates to the computer. Still no call or even connection to WSUS. It still says it has no internet connection.

Microsoft has marked this as a bug and we away a fix from Microsoft proper. We will have to do use an offline update to get things going until they have a solution.

Also... Your SSL Cert, which seems to be the root of the problem - is it an Internal CA generated SSL Cert or was it purchased through 3rd party. If the former, you must import the Internal CA's root certificate into the off-domain system. (You probably have a GPO to do this automatically on any domain-connected systems or they'd have the same problem.)

Once the root certificate is Trusted, then all certificates generated by any subordinate CA would also be trusted. This will be the solution to this issue.
